Car hire in Larnaca

Local companies bring automatic hire cars to your Larnaca address. Most cars shown have free delivery, none needs a credit card, and the cover is priced first.

Cheap automatic car rental in Larnaca

All six are automatic with delivery in Larnaca. The cheapest have Minimum cover only and some include Basic, so look beyond the price.

Car sizes delivered in Larnaca

Tiles show the cheapest car in each class for the same week as the deals; a typical car here costs about €58 a day.

These cars seat four or five. Check boot space with every seat in use, allowing for pushchairs and bulky bags. Prices are for delivery in town, not airport or office pickup.

How does delivery work in Larnaca?

Agree the address and a meeting time with the company. The car is brought to you, so there is no rental desk at your hotel.

Name the property

Give the company your accommodation name and address. Check where the car can stop legally and any access instructions.

Arrange contact

Keep your phone on while travelling. If your plans change, tell the company quickly and agree a new delivery time.

Review the car

At handover, check the condition record, fuel and extras. Ask how to return the car before you drive off.

Need a car as soon as you land? Choose Larnaca Airport pickup. A town booking starts at your address and does not include an airport meeting.

Five of these six cars have no delivery charge for the times quoted. Other cars and places may have one, so compare the full price.

Does a low deposit mean there is no damage contribution?

No deposit is not the same as no excess. Some no-deposit cars keep an excess, and some keep a deposit even with Full cover.

Check how the company takes payment and the deposit. If a credit card is needed, bring a physical embossed card in the main driver’s name. Debit works only where the booking and voucher allow it, on the same terms.

Pay 15 to 20% of the rental online. This may not include the delivery charge. The six featured cars take payment other than a credit card; check the rule on the car you book.

How close is Larnaca seafront to Larnaca Airport?

The drive to Finikoudes seafront is 7.7 kilometres, about fifteen minutes without traffic. Every card starts at the airport, not at your delivery address.

The Larnaca time ends at the seafront, not your hotel. If your hire starts later in town, arrange your own airport transfer. Allow extra time for the airport, traffic and the handover.

Staying further east? Protaras is 65.1 kilometres from the airport, about an hour by road. Book delivery there, as a Larnaca town booking does not cover it.

Read the parking signs and access restrictions

Delivery does not include a parking space at your accommodation. Check the parking there and follow the signs where you leave the car.

Single yellow lines allow loading and unloading only; double yellow lines also ban waiting. Read the sign at the space, as not every app or payment method works.

Drive on paved public roads only. You cannot drive to Kavo Gkreko National Park, Blue Lagoon, Akamas Reserve, Avakas Gorge, Lara Bay turtle beach or the Baths of Adonis waterfall, or on the roads to them.

Driving after the city handover

Cyprus drives on the left, and the car may differ from yours at home. Learn the controls while parked before you set off.

Check the vehicle layout

Most hire cars here have the steering wheel on the right. Check the driving position and gearbox, and let every named driver get used to the car.

Follow signed speeds

The usual town limit is fifty kilometres per hour, and eighty outside towns. Motorways normally allow 65 to 100 km/h. Follow any different signed limits.

Set navigation first

Set up navigation before you move off. Handheld phones are banned while driving, so use hands-free if you must take a call.

Report an incident

In an emergency, dial 112. After an accident or damage, tell the company at once and get a police report, unless the company agrees another way.

Can a Larnaca delivery end at either airport?

Some town-delivery cars can be returned at Larnaca Airport or Paphos Airport. Check that car’s own price and terms, as they can differ from the deals above.

Select the airport

Choose the airport by name as your return place. Larnaca town and Larnaca Airport are different places, even with the same city name.

Agree the procedure

Get the company’s return place and contact details. Leave time for the final check and for getting to the terminal.

Confirm amendments

Changing the return time or place needs the company’s approval. A flight change does not change your car booking.

Plan the return from your address, adding time for fuel and the inspection. Follow the return instructions the company gives you. Heading west? Paphos harbour is about 2 h from Larnaca Airport, and car rental in Paphos offers delivery too.

Larnaca town prices by month

Lowest daily prices for seven-day hires with delivery in town. Pickup and return are both in town, so airport offers are not mixed in.

Any delivery charge is included in the daily price. Your times and extras can change the total. The minimum hire is twenty-four hours, and a part day is charged in full.

Seats, child seats and extra drivers

Seats, child seats and extra drivers are booked separately. Check them against everyone who will use the car.

Count the seats

Each car here has four or five seats. Count every child when you check the total.

Request restraints

Book the child seats you need and check them at delivery. Children need belts and suitable seats from the very first journey.

Name other drivers

Add a second driver to the booking before they drive. Check their age and years licensed against the car’s rules.

Keep pets contained

Small pets are allowed only in a carrier, used for the whole journey. Leave room for it when you check luggage space.

The included protection differs between these cars

Some cars here offer only Minimum (TPL) cover. If you need more, choose a car that offers it.

Minimum coverageIncluded as standard
  • Damage to other vehicles (TPL) (included)
  • Damage to your hire car (not included)
Basic coverage
  • Limited collision cover (CDW) (included)
  • Damage to other vehicles (TPL) (included)
  • Glass and tyre damage (not included)
Full Coverage
  • Limited driver liability (Super CDW) (included)
  • Damage to other vehicles (TPL) (included)
Full Coverage Plus
  • Full damage cover (included)
  • No driver liability for accident damage (included)

Minimum only. Some cars start with TPL and offer no CDW upgrade. Paying a deposit does not mean damage to the car is covered.

Basic can be added. Some cars start with TPL and offer paid CDW. The deposit and excess stay after you upgrade.

Full may keep a deposit. Some cars include Basic, and paid Full Coverage cuts the excess to zero. The deposit stays with both.

No deposit, but an excess. Some cars have no deposit and include CDW but still carry an excess, with no Full or Plus option.

Not every car offers all four levels, and these cars have no Plus. Standard cover excludes wheels, underbody, windscreen and cabin. Neglect and deliberate vandalism void cover, and the road and area rules apply at every level.

Bring original documents to the meeting

Bring your original national licence, in Latin script and valid beyond your return date. Electronic versions and photocopies are not accepted.

International permit

An IDP is strongly recommended with a domestic-only licence. Bring your national licence too; it is still required.

Driver eligibility

Each driver needs the age and years licensed that the chosen car requires.

A UK photocard licence is fine in Cyprus. With a paper-only UK licence, you may need to update it or carry an IDP.

Fuel and condition when the car goes back

Check the fuel record before the company’s final inspection.

Return fuel

  • Return the car with the same fuel as at delivery. Missing fuel is charged; extra fuel is not refunded.

Return condition

  • You pay for cleaning if the car is too dirty to inspect.

Parking, fuel and fines are yours to pay. To extend the hire, agree it with the company first.

No driving into Northern Cyprus

You cannot take this car into Northern Cyprus, so keep your day trips in the south.

Returning at an airport changes where you drop the car, not the areas open to a Cyprus rental.

Cancelling or changing a Larnaca booking

To change the car or dates, cancel and book again.

Cancellation notice

Cancel seven days ahead for an ordinary car, thirty for a luxury car or convertible, or twenty-four hours with short-notice cancellation. Late cancellation or a missed pickup loses the advance.

Refund request

Send support your voucher to cancel. Refunds take up to fourteen days from your request, less 6% of the advance, in the original currency.

Larnaca delivery questions

Are all six example cars automatic?

Yes, all six are listed as automatic. Check the gearbox on the car you book, not just the model name. Car hire in Nicosia has both manual and automatic cars.

Does the lowest total include Basic insurance?

No. The cheapest cars include Minimum (TPL) only, with no Basic upgrade. Some others offer paid Basic, and some include it in the price.

Does Full cover remove the deposit?

Not always. On some cars, paid Full cover removes the excess but the deposit stays. Check both figures when you compare an upgrade.

Is the airport-return car the no-deposit deal shown here?

No. The airport-return prices are for a separate offer with its own terms. Choose your return place and read that offer before booking.

Is town delivery suitable for collection as soon as I land?

No. For pickup when you land, choose the Larnaca Airport place. Town delivery is to an address at an agreed time, with no airport transfer.
